Abstract

A connecting device is provided for connecting a first plurality of tubes (10a) to a second plurality of tubes (10b). This comprises a housing (30) in which is mounted a plate (20, 20a, 20b) having a plurality of parallel slots (21). The first and second pluralities of tubes are connected by a plurality of tube connectors (1, 1a, 1b) which are held in clips (23, 25) each slidably received in a respective one of the slots (21). The device is particularly intended for use with tubes in which optical fibres are to be installed by blowing.
